What a heartfelt and beautiful poem. Yes, many men fought in the war to ensure our freedom. My dad did, as did all my mum's brothers. Praise God, they all came home safely and lived to ripe old ages. Thank you for a beautiful post. Blessings , Jo

In SA we do not only remember those who have fallen in WWI. We also remember all those who have fallen in whatever war that followed. We have our own Bush War and although many now believe we were wrong to be in that war, it still makes no difference to the sacrifice those who died made or to the heartache of their loved ones.
